Session 5

On session 5 of the Overland Roundtable, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various camp setups that are popular amongst overland travelers. The rooftop tend is a trendy, and expensive, accessory but it may not be right for you. The ground tent is widely accessible but has some characteristics that may not be well suited a long trips or wet environments. We had the pleasure of having Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland join us to discuss his expertise with Four Wheel pop-up campers. Four Wheel Campers slide into a pickup bed and transform your truck into an offroad ready camper with all the creature comforts you can imagine.

Guest Panelist: Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland

Matt Henwood serves as MLO's President, and has a deep passion for overlanding since it blends two loves: motor sports and the great outdoors. An SCCA enduro race driver, off-road rally enthusiast, and motorcyclist, Matt also enjoys rowing, hunting, fly fishing, hiking with his wife Kristen and their dog Gunner, and exploring new areas of the world whenever possible. Expeditions in various modes of travel include: Utah, Colorado, Vermont, Maine, Alaska, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Iceland, Europe, and South Africa. He has a rich automotive background, from restoring English classics, German sports cars, and American hot rods, to classic and modern 4×4s and motorcycles. He's also an experienced welder and fabricator of many of MLO’s custom products. Matt holds an MBA in marketing.

Matt works closely with customers to help make their overland dream vehicles come to life, and is also in charge of Four Wheel Campers and Adventure Trailers sales for MLO. In addition Matt also heads up planning for the Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival, which is hosted by MLO.
